<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 769, we need to group it as 69 and 7.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is<a>less than</a>or equal to 7. We can say n is ‘2’ because 2 × 2 = 4, which is less than 7. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 2, and after subtracting 4 from 7, the<a>remainder</a>is 3.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 4n × n ≤ 369. Let us consider n as 7. Now, 47 × 7 = 329.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Since the remainder is less than the divisor, we need to add a<a>decimal</a>point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the<a>dividend</a>. Now the new dividend is 4000.</p>
